I like to think of myself not "brave" so much as just willing to take fear as a part of life, something to deal with and slog through. That was until the day I opened my trash can lid and a huge possum was sitting right on top. When that thing turned and hissed at me, mouth open wide, I have never yelled so loud or run so fast. I would honestly rather be chased by a bear.I consider snakes and opossums to be ideal pets of the devil.![]()
I to used to hate possums till I found out they eat ticks. Then I was like ok I can live with that if they get rid of those nasty ass ticks.I consider snakes and opossums to be ideal pets of the devil.![]()
I've never seen more than one in any given place.A number of years ago down in Arizona hunting javelina I was tracking one and came upon this.

Over the years we have hiked back into that canyon calling it the snake draw and always have fun meeting new friends

So far we haven't shot any out of this den site and have taken a number of others into it. It is quite unique seeing them like this.
For a real nice big one you need to head down south and get a Eastern Diamondback. They are quite a bit larger than the Western Diamondback and are a lot prettier to me..I think rattlesnakes are pretty cool but i’m glad we don’have them in Maine. I’d like to have a rifle sling made from one. Sometime when I go out west I’d like to go on a snake hunt with someone who knows where they are.No way am I going after them myself.
